Globe has been at the forefront of efforts to strictly implement and comply with the SIM Registration Act, ensuring that all SIMs currently in use are registered.
Globe does not allow customers to use unregistered SIMs. Under its current system, a new SIM is only activated once registered through Globe's SIM registration platforms.
"We designed our SIM Registration system so that no SIM can be used on the network unless registered. Therefore, all active SIMs within our network are in our system. Even as we continue to enhance our SIM registration platform, we already have measures to defend against the illegal use of unregistered SIMs," said Darius Delgado, Globe Vice President and Head of Consumer Mobile Business.
Globe currently has 58.8 million mobile subscribers.
Following the registration period from December 27, 2022, to July 30, 2023, which covered SIMs already in use before the passage of the law, Globe deactivated over 30 million unregistered SIMs.
Since then, Globe has proactively bolstered security measures for SIM registration, ensuring the integrity of the registration process for new SIMs and providing our customers with a secure and reliable service.
These include advanced encryption protocols to secure data transmitted during the registration process, live photo capture technology to prevent the use of stock or pre-existing photos, and limited ID submission retries to prevent random or repeated attempts to register with fictitious documents.
Globe emphasizes the importance of SIM users submitting accurate information and photo IDs. It's crucial to note that the submission of false information is not only a breach of our terms but is also punishable under the law.
